Service summary

Employers for Carers (often just known as EfC) is a growing membership forum and service for employers who are seeking to support the carers in their workforce and retain key talent. EfC is managed and supported by the specialist knowledge of Carers UK and is steered by a Leadership Group of employers. Formally launched as a membership forum in January 2009 (after many years of earlier work with employers), EfC now has around 120 organisations in membership covering at least 1.25 million employees and is continuing to grow. It offers information, advice and training for employers of carers through the Employers for Carers website. It works to ensure firms stay competitive and retain skilled staff but are able to recognise the needs of carers working for them.
